Wednesday February 6th @ 11h – 2h30: Kiosks/booths will be showcasing cultural articles of clothing and accessories for purchase. Wednesday February 6th @ 12h30 to 2h30: Overture with the Arts (OWTA) is proud to present B.R.A.W.L (Black Revolutionary Activists Women List) as the topic of our upcoming Black History Month. B.R.A.W.L will enlighten students about the many heroic contributions black women have made in the struggle for black liberation throughout history, from slave plantations, all the way through present day. Using OWTA’s trademark edutainment style that combines education, Slam Poetry, Hip Hop, stand up comedy, and audience participation/ interaction, B.R.A.W.L will address the far too often neglected sacrifices made by black women.The presentation will run between 45 to 60 minutes. The presentation will flow chronologically through history, giving students and administrators not only a vital introduction to outstanding black women throughout history, but a vital snap shot of the black experience during different historical eras. This structure will allow us to provide historical context to the climate with which the subjects of our presentation operated, while simultaneously shinning a light on their amazing accomplishments. Additionally, the presentation will showcase the contributions of African Canadian women in particular. The Black History Month conversation in Canadian schools too often focuses solely on some of the towering figures of the civil rights movement in the United States of America. Therefore, it is of vital importance to us that students celebrate the sacrifices our own countrymen have made throughout history. While some American women will be mentioned, the emphasis will be primarily on African Canadians. Overture with the Arts (OWTA) Website!

Jus, café et biscuits seront servis! L’ATELIER: L’objectif de cet atelier d’écriture est de stimuler la créativité des jeunes en leur donnant les outils adequats pour exprimer poétiquement leurs émotions. Le hip-hop etant un style musical très en vogue, il est important d’en comprendre l’aspect littéraire et éducatif. Cette initiation est une porte d’entrée vers une meilleure appreciation de la langue française; c’est une manière amusante et actuelle d’enseigner les bases de l’écriture créative. L’atelier se déroule en deux étapes. Dans une première partie, les jeunes acquièrent diverses notions théoriques: outils litteraires (metaphore, comparaison, rimes), rythmique du texte (debit, energie, etc). Structure et forme classique du hip-hop, ainsi que differentes methodes d’inspira­tion. La présentation est appuyée par une projection PowerPoint’ afin d’illustrer chaque aspect théorique par des exemples concrets. En deuxième partie, afin de mettre en pratique les notions nouvellement acquises, les jeunes sont conviés à un exercice d’écriture a partir d’un thème qu’ils auront choisi. A la fin de l’atelier, les participants sont invités a reciter leur texte de rap devant le groupe. L’artiste accompagne les eleves tout au long du processus de création. Ces ateliers sont conçus de maniere à toucher autant les élves du primaire que les etudiants du secondaire et du collegial. Webster sait tres bien adapter son discours aux differents groupes d’age rencontres. L’ ARTISTE – WEBSTER: Aly Ndiaye, alias Webster, est l’un des doyens du mouvement hip-hop québécois. Comptant sept albums à son actif, il connaît bien la dynamique derrière la creation litteraire. Depuis plusieurs annees, il donne des ateliers d’ecriture partout a travers le monde. II a été invité a l’université Harvard et au Massachusetts Institute of Technology de Boston; dans les établissements carceraux juveniles de Genève (Suisse); dans les écoles du Bronx (New-York) et les centres culturels du Sénégal, de la Mauritanie et du Mali. Ses ateliers l’ont mene dans une trentaine de villes, huit pays et trois continents. II collabore regulierement avec les gouvernements du Québec, du Canada et de la France. Au Québec, il a visité de nombreuses écoles primaires et secondaires ainsi que plusieurs centres jeunesses. Son atelier fut l’une des activités de raccrochage scolaire offerte aux jeunes de la serie-documentaire « Les Pérséverants », diffusee sur les ondes de Radio-Canada en 2014. www.websterls.com]]>Little Girl Blue on CBChttps://www.champlainonline.com/champlainweb/2018/12/girl-blue-cbc/
Wed, 19 Dec 2018 18:53:06 +0000https://www.champlainonline.com/champlainweb/?p=15914The film Little Girl Blue, written and directed by Champlain College Saint-Lambert faculty member Dan Babineau (Media programs) and featuring the talents of many Champlain students, graduates, faculty and staff members will screen again on CBC Television on Christmas Eve, at 11:00 p.m. The film was created here at Champlain, a cooperative venture between the Media department and Nursing. Both cast and crew were volunteers, and included many Champlain grads and faculty. It was finished with a grant from the National Film Board and ran on CBC during the Christmas season in 2016. Most of the film’s sets were constructed at Champlain: the hospital locations which were shot in the Nursing wing, an ATM bank set which was built in the library, and exterior hospital and bank locations which were done out back of the college, shot in July but with artificial snow since the film takes place on Christmas Eve! Some of the people involved include Creative Arts grads like Antoine Rochette, music producer working in London, who wrote the music; Andre Lai, now working as a film producer, who was Director of Photography; teachers Barclay Watt, Nancy Tatebe, Rose Mary Weidner, Carole Cormier, Erik di Agostini, David Finch, and David Millar; Max Block from IT; Marc Cotran, a real-life ER doctor who is a Champlain Health Science grad; and even our famous alumnus, weatherman Frank Cavallero.

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 19:49:34 +0000https://www.champlainonline.com/champlainweb/?p=15894Work created by 1st year Digital Arts & New Media students in their Introduction to Visual Creation: Drawing course. With a non-standard paper format of 2:1, ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN are applied in the making of a successful composition. The overall surface is developed in a dynamic way, filling the pictorial space with positive-negative areas: solid versus empty areas, to establish unity and balance. Sections of the composition’s value are possibly reversed to create mirror effect and achieve interesting graphic rhythm. The creative solution in finding a transition between varieties of contents shows the student’s ability to create harmonious graphic transitions. ]]>SCHOLARSHIP EVENING 2018https://www.champlainonline.com/champlainweb/2018/12/scholarship-evening-2018/
